We regret to learn of the sudden death, in Macon, one day last week, of Mr. R. B. Washington, an old and much respected citizen of this county, from the neighborhood of Kingston.  He was upward of seventy years of age, and seemed to have been a man of considerable vigor for one so old.  He married quite a youthful lady sometime during the past summer.
